Audi released pricing on Wednesday for the 2012 R8 GT Spyder. The all-wheel-drive, Lamborghini-V10-sporting convertible will sticker for $211,200 with destination. Only 333 examples will be built, with just 50 coming to the United States. Audi built the same number of hardtop GTs, with 90 coming stateside.

Output goes up to 560 hp in the open-top R8 GT, with 398 lb-ft of torque. The 5.2-liter, direct-injection V10 will sprint to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, with a top speed of 197 mph.

Audi dropped 187 pounds from the R8 V10, which not only improves acceleration but increases fuel economy. The engine cradle is made from ultralight magnesium, while the soft-top cover and rear side panels are made from carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer. The fixed rear spoiler is carbon fiber as well.

The GT Spyder is 10 millimeters lower than the R8 V10, and the suspension has a stiffer calibration. XYZ ventilated and cross-drilled rotors provide stopping power, with 19-inch wheels at all four corners.

Visual cues on the GT Spyder include a larger rear diffuser, front splitter and a fixed rear spoiler. The interior is black, only. Accent stitching can be ordered in gray or red. Alcantara trim adorns the seat inserts, flat-bottomed steering wheel, parking brake and windshield frame.
